Take a look at Jagadish's movies and where to watch on OTT.

Unni Mukundan-starrer Marco is the most violent actioner from Malayalam. And Jagadish plays the cold-blooded villain Tony Isaac, who orders for the most cruel actions without batting an eyelid. Despite the bloody violence depicted in the movie, it went on to become a hit 

Falimy - JioHotstar

Jagadish appears as Chandran, the father of Basil Joseph’s character Anoop. Chandran’s father, his two sons and his wife make up the dysfunctional family who set out on a trip to Varanasi. Jagadish brought to life the quirks and mannerisms of Chandran, who refuses to take responsibility of his family. 

Neru – Jiohotstar

In Neru, Jagadish delivers a more nuanced performance as the father of an assault victim, Sara. Mohanlal plays advocate Vijayamohan who is fighting for the girl’s justice, while Anaswara Rajan makes a mark with a moving portrayal of Sara, who is also blind.

Rekhachithram - SonyLiv, OTTplay Premium

Jagadish appears as himself in Rekhachithram, a mystery thriller film that is also considered an ode to Malayalam cinema. The film follows a cop (Asif Ali) who sets out to find out what happened to a junior artiste who went missing from a film set in 1985. Though he does not have much screen time in the film, it is Jagadish who gives some crucial piece of evidence that helps the cop to locate the victim’s origins.
